I think the problem of driving styles lie in two reasons. The first is that they have had no proper examples of driving. This is a country that started driving 50 years after the car was invented. The country wasn't ready for such a transition. People started driving from scratch, and at the beginning there were no real rules for the roads. So parents taught children to drive, and they just get worse over the generations. And with added examples from race car movies like "Initial D" and the "Fast and The Furious" the kids just become these extremely dangerous drivers. The second reason is government control. The cops in Taiwan just don't care. I have seen many times people running red lights right in front of the cops and they don't do anything. And the intersection was not camera operated, so that's not the reason. The Police just take their jobs as, “I do what I'm assigned to do. If today I’m making rounds, then I wait for crimes, if I'm assigned to traffic, then I'll watch traffic.” Anyway, I could go on about this topic all day. But Taiwan needs to work on their driving a lot. Dude, I totally agree with you. I think the problem of driving styles lie in two reasons.
